    IMPORT R18 Transcontinental from Australia to America under a CARNET for 12 months + Insurance

    The INSURANCE in America is insanely expensive for very little coverage compared to insurance I have in Australia and also in the UK (including all Schengen states). Give Progressive a call in the States. But maybe not motorcycles

    IMPORT R18 Transcontinental from Australia to America under a CARNET for 12 months + Insurance

    I recently had a phone call with an hilariously funny lady agent at Progressive. A USD$35,000 BMW Z4 2021 was going to be north of USD$7,000 a year to insure with an Aussie licence! Madness

    IMPORT R18 Transcontinental from Australia to America under a CARNET for 12 months + Insurance

    Thank you. Australia is a beautiful country but I've covered just about every square inch, multiple times. As a Veteran, I get treated a lot better in the States!

    New Owner from Singapore

    I've lived and worked in Singapore. Owning a bike or a car there is criminally expensive but they do it for a reason....all those people on a tiny island owning a car it would be 24/7 gridlock... Do you take your bikes for a blast to Malacca or KL and beyond?

    BMW R18 Transcontinental Black inlet and engine covers

    Gday from Australia. I've had an R18 Forst Edition since late 2021 and am about to take delivery of a Transcontinental for longer rides (safer to hit wallabies, the odd kangaroo or even an emu or camel (yes we have a lot of BIG camels wandering around Australia). The inlet covers and valve...
